it's hard to hear the instructions from Richtofen and the other guy when you're laying down fire on a horde of zombies.

Apparently the other dude, who I have yet to identify, wants you to turn off the power in order to receive his instructions. You just have to cut it on initially to release that one shock zombie that's imprisoned inside the power core.

I know I'll eventually cheat and look up a youtube guide, but it's fun to try it on your own the first few times out the gate.

I found a wiki page that details most of the easter egg, but I only read the synopsis.

quote:At the moment, there is known to be two ways doing this achievement, there is the one way of listening to Dr. Maxis that can be heard only when the power on the map is turned off. This method is shown below. The other way is by listening to Richtofen while the power is turned on, the only character that can hear Richtofen is Samuel. This method has yet to be fully discovered, but follows the first steps in which the NAV Table has to be built as well as the Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23 which Richtofen makes comments of having to be built after the power is turned on.

So apparently the guy I didn't recognize is Dr. Maxis.

Interesting that Richtofen only speaks to one of the four characters. I have no fricking clue which one is Samuel.

And I've never gone through an entire easter egg without help, especially the later ones. They get increasingly complex. I don't know how anybody figured out Call of the Dead, Shangri-La, or Moon to be honest.

We played a little Tuesday, couldn't play last night. We both liked it. It's definitely a lot more challenging than previously. I felt like rounds 4-7 are extremely more difficult. We just have to play it some more and get our bearings, then we will get back to getting our 20-30 rounders.

I don't know for sure, because I keep getting killed before I make the full loop. There should be 4-5 areas to visit based on what I've heard. Generally, the driver idles for a few minutes at each stop. When he starts honking, that is the indicator to get your arse over to the bus if you have any intention of leaving. Also, boarding the bus prematurely seems to speed things up a bit if you're feeling impatient.

At some point, I'm sure it just boils down to personal preference as to where you'd like to post up to make a stand.

The areas between serve as a no mans land where you get constantly attacked by these annoying impish frickers who claw your face. You can survive out there, but good luck dealing with that bull shite for an extended amount of time.
